Surviving, Not Thriving! · Surviving, Not Thriving... Because Parenting is Hard!

Quick question for you…

What would happen if you committed to yourself for 28 days?

Not perfectly.

Not obsessively.

Just intentionally.

I think a lot of us as parents slowly drift into survival mode without even realizing it.

This is an incredible Squadie and Mom!!! She was one of the first to join me on the LEANSQUAD journey!

As parents of 4 boys, Brodie and I definitely felt this over the winter. We became so consumed with kids sports and activities that we stopped prioritizing our own health the way we normally would.

And when that happens, everything starts to feel harder.

Your energy drops.
Your confidence takes a hit.
You feel worse physically and mentally.
Your relationship with your partner suffers.
And ultimately, your kids stop getting the best version of you.

Now that we have gotten back from our Disney trip we have decided to make a commitment to ourselves and our health before summer. That’s why starting June 1st, we’re launching a brand new workout challenge called:

I don’t usually use this platform to talk about our workout programs, but helping parents survive and thrive is what this community is all about. And honestly, this challenge directly supports that.

A mom of 3 and a proud Squadie!

This is actually how I first started sharing online years ago when I first became a father.

Simple home workouts.
Realistic habits.
Sustainable routines that actually fit into real life as a parent.

Because most parents don’t have +60 minutes a day to spend in the gym (nor do we need that to get results).

This works differently.

Short workouts.
Daily walks.
Simple habits.
Consistency.

That’s it.

The goal of this challenge is simple:

Help you feel better heading into summer.

More energy.
More confidence.
Better metabolic health.
Better body composition.
Better mindset.

Daily non negotiables:

• 10K steps
• 1 intentional workout or active recovery session
• 3L of water
• Progress photo

You’ll also get a challenge calendar to track everything daily (check it out here).

The workouts are only 20 to 35 minutes long and can be completed anytime on your own schedule directly inside the app.

All you need is a set of dumbbells.

An adjustable workout bench is optional (this is the one I use).

As a dad of 4 boys, I know firsthand that with the right plan, a LOT can change in 28 days.

Not just physically.

Mentally too.

Let’s head into summer feeling our best.

Phil
